Manju anyone?

This was the second day of Manju making at the church.

Kuri Manju is a Japanese pastry made with a sweet Lima bean center covered by a sweet pastry dough.

Here is a picture of the ladies cutting the pastry dough into the proper size...




After it is cut, it goes to the next set of people who form the pastry dough over balls of sweeten Lima bean mixture (sorry, everyone is on break)



Next, Jordan and Neil were promoted to helping this year, the boys brush on an egg mixture and add a beautiful dash of poppy seeds...


After baking in the oven, the Manju is transferred to wire racks and cooled prior to packaging...




After we finished the Manju...I left to go and wait for my NEW washing machine to be delivered....I waited and waited...my delivery time was between 12-4...they came at 4:50...Augh!

But, Jeff, already hooked it up! What a wonderful surprise...it is run ing the first load now! YEAH!!!!!


Doesn't he look nice next to his "brother"?



Now, if we could do something about the walls in the garage...
